NTHS/ASE Endorsement

The National Technical Honor Society is excited to partner with the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) to enhance recognition for Career & Technical Education (CTE) students enrolled in automotive, collision, and diesel programs.

The ASE Endorsement offers students in automotive, collision, and diesel programs an opportunity to add industry-specific recognition to their membership for their performance in their transportation-related field. The ASE Endorsement can be added to current or newly inducted NTHS members* who are enrolled in an ASE-accredited program and have passed at least one ASE Entry Level Certification in the area in which the program is accredited.

NTHS members who meet the qualifications and add the ASE Endorsement to their membership can choose from the custom ASE/NTHS Cord ($20), ASE/NTHS Stole ($25), or both the Cord and Stole ($45). Endorsed members will be automatically entered for an opportunity to win a $500 scholarship in addition to their regular NTHS benefits

*NTHS membership dues ($30/one-time) must be paid before or in conjunction with the ASE Endorsement fee.

Students must first meet NTHS eligibility requirements and either concurrently join NTHS or already be a member of NTHS in good standing. The chapter’s NTHS advisor may then nominate and submit the student for the ASE Endorsement if they meet the following ASE criteria:

• Be enrolled in an ASE-accredited automotive, collision, or diesel program
• Pass at least one ASE Entry Level Certification in the area in which the program is accredited

NOTES FOR ADVISORS:

An accreditation ID number for school program is required for auditing reasons to ensure students are enrolled in an ASE-accredited program. The Automotive Instructor at the school should have access to the accreditation ID number. 

The correct Area of Study code must be entered for students (i.e., 13.1 Automotive Service)
